So is socket TR4 going to last as long as AM4, or is AMD going to pull an Intel on it and change the socket every time a new threadripper line comes out?

I don't see why they would.

This will only happen once they have a majority of market share
>>61017121
Ryzen acts more like an SoC than anything else so AMD can pretty much use TR4 indefinitely since the CPU is doing pretty much everything while the chipset is more or less a PCIE mux.
They may only change when some new shit comes out like DDR5 for some new PCI Express comes out
>>61017121
All of AMD's new platforms will remain the same until DDR5 comes out in ~4 years.
It's what they've been explicitly promising for months.
>>61017121
I know they said they're keeping TR4 around for several generations of EPYC so I would assume the same applies to their HEDT.
>>61017121
Are 4 channels of DDR4 and 64 PCIe lanes not good enough for you nigger?

They're promising the server socket will live for quite some time, so you can be pretty sure this one will live for quite some time too
